Tony Romo admits to playing with broken rib

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has revealed that he is playing with a broken rib as well as his ongoing back problems.

Romo played through the injuries in Thursday night's 41-28 win over the Chicago Bears and he revealed the extent of his injuries after the game.

"It'll be nice when it's just about the back instead of all the other junk," Romo said, ESPN reports.

The Cowboys signal-caller added that the rib injury occurred earlier this season either in a game against the Rams or the Saints in late September.

Romo admitted that he did not take any pain-killing medication prior to last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but he will likely do so before their next game.
